Before I began MFP I was doing weight watchers at home by just counting the points for my foods. Then I found MFP and I joined on Feb 28 of this year. While doing weight watchers, I lost 6 pounds, but I think some of that was water retention. However, when you step on the scales one time and it says 160 then a week later…

I stepped on the scales this morning and I have lost 7 pounds this week!!!:noway: I couldn't believe it. I got off the scales and then I re-weighed myself and there it was...7 pounds lighter. Then I took my measurements and I've lost 3 1/2 inches...Wow!!!:happy: I went off to school to substitute in a VERY good mood!!…

I also will edit any submission that is off....I guess it's the OCD coming out!!

Yeah, my mom told me that some people put cool whip on top, but this particular one didn't have any. It certainly was delicious!!! whether it was good or bad on the cals!!! :happy:

I honestly only had maybe a tablespoon of the desert just to see what it tasted like. I was told that it was a good low calorie desert that even people who are diabetics can have it and not have to worry with their sugar going high. Thanks to everyone who has replied thus far.

Tonight, being Tuesday, my church had a dinner and we fed some college students who were in the area doing good Samaritan jobs for those less fortunate. At the dinner, there was this desert that had crumbled up Angel food cake, with French vanilla pudding and strawberry slices on top. Does anybody know what this recipe is…

I agree with Nursevee...Take your measurements. I've been trying to lose weight since Feb 17th and just recently joined MFP. This morning I weighed myself and I had lost only one pound, but when I took my measurements, I could see where I had made some progress. Don't rely on the scales to tell you how you're doing with…

Thanks everybody...the encouragement really helps!!

Yeah, I hate my scales too!!! :laugh:

Today I weighed myself and I have lost a pound in one week's time. This discouraged me and I thought why am I doing this for nothing. I had really cut back on the "junk" food I was eating and I was drinking tons of water, so I thought the weight reduction would be greater. However, when I took my measurements, my…

Thanks for the tips...I'll try to remember them. Today, while talking to my sister on the phone, I was telling her about the site and I was telling her how I was wanting to lose weight by watching the calories. I must say she wasn't the most "positive" person to talk to. Instead of encouraging me, she was asking me if it…

Hello everybody!! While doing an internet search today I came across myfitnesspal and I decided to take a look and see what it is all about. I really like the way that I can put in what I'm eating and it will calculate the calories for me. I was trying another weight loss technique and, quite frankly, I'm not happy with…
